What happened afterwards

hello guys, it's been a very long time since I posted something. Ok here is some of the updates.
I've got a first for my film and I've won the best moving image award in my year.

Anyway the main highlight is that G.U.4 has been accept by bitfilm 2009. and you can view it by the following link:

Character Design

Here is one of my character I've drawn out in Photoshop.

It was one of the beginning point towards this design.

Airbrushing painting

If you seen the preview then you seen this drawing below:

This is the photoshop painting I've quickly speed painted. It was fun to draw

To make the image looks 8 bit pixel, I just used mosaic filter to add the effects and it works.

DVD casing

I finally finish my short film, yah. Though it lacks sound for now, I'm going to add them later.

Anyway here is the DVD case along with my DVDs. I really like it as it looks really old school video game cover.

Based on my promotional poster post:

Now I'm making the special features for my DVD.

I feel as though I really pushed myself towards to the standard of a professional level and I'm really pleased with myself with that. However I wish I could of been more careful with the narration.

1 day countdown - rendering some good sh*t

I'm feeling tired after working these last couple of days but it's going to pay off once I finish the film, yeah. Right now I'm rendering and I'm fixing up some of my work at the time being. So expect the film to be finish quite soon today. The rendering is a b*tch and it's taking me forever so I have to reduce the action/animation abit.

At the mean time I can work on my RVJ.

CGI craze

With my final scene in 3d, all I can say is that I'm almost there

Ok I barely fixed my character rig, I'm working on the blend shape of my character facial such as eyes and mouth. They're not going to be complex expression. The paint cluster is done and now I'm doing abit of facial animation:

I think I can finish my film tommorow though I'm not really happy with it at the moment but I think I can touch it up after uni finishes.

3Ding some stuff

Ok rigging it wasn't much of a difficult job but the paint weight cluster can be annoyance, shown below:

The head and neck movement is ok but it's the lower body, I'm concerning about at the moment.

So the 3d scene shouldn't involve with too much movement because my model has flaws with it at the moment until I fix it.
